Residents share destruction of Ventura County Fire

Residents in Santa Paula, Ventura and Ojai are sharing images on social media of the Thomas Fire, also known as the Ventura County Fire and Santa Paula Fire, raging across the west side of Ventura County.

Please, friends and neighbors: If you evacuate for the #ThomasFire , #CreekFire , or #RyeFire , don’t forget about your furry friends. Take them with you. If you can’t, find a safe place for them. We are all in this together.

On-site news anchors, please stop exploiting those who have lost their homes. They're completely devastated. Leave it at that and do your job to report the situation and keep people informed and safe. Find some ethics and use them! #ThomasFire#CreekFire#SantaClaritaFire
